Who wrote DOS, and how did Bill Gates acquire it?
Bill Gates built a global monopoly on an operating system he didn't write. The foundation of Microsoft's empire was actually coded by a 24-year-old named Tim Paterson.
In 1980, Paterson worked for a small hardware company called Seattle Computer Products (SCP). SCP had developed a new microcomputer based on Intel’s cutting-edge 8086 chip, but they had a major problem: they lacked an operating system to run on it. The industry standard at the time was CP/M, built by Gary Kildall’s company Digital Research, but the 16-bit version (CP/M-86) was severely delayed. Frustrated by the wait, Paterson spent four months writing his own stopgap solution. He called it QDOS—the "Quick and Dirty Operating System"—which was later renamed 86-DOS. Paterson deliberately designed it to mimic CP/M's application programming interface so developers could easily port their existing software over.
Around the same time, IBM was rushing to build its first personal computer in complete secrecy. They approached Microsoft, a small software firm at the time, for programming languages like BASIC. When IBM asked for an operating system, Gates initially directed them to Digital Research. However, negotiations between IBM and Digital Research broke down over strict non-disclosure agreements and licensing disputes. Desperate for a solution to meet their aggressive timeline, IBM returned to Microsoft.
Gates and his co-founder Paul Allen realized they had an opportunity to secure a massive partnership, but they needed an operating system fast. Allen knew about Paterson’s 86-DOS just down the street in Seattle. In late 1980, Microsoft brokered a deal with SCP to license 86-DOS for $25,000. Then, in July 1981, just weeks before the IBM PC was set to launch, Microsoft purchased the full intellectual property rights to 86-DOS for an additional $50,000.
Seattle Computer Products had no idea that Microsoft's unnamed client was the computing giant IBM. By securing the full rights for a mere $75,000, Gates pulled off one of the most lucrative business moves in history. Crucially, Microsoft did not sell the operating system to IBM outright. Instead, they licensed it as PC-DOS for IBM machines while retaining the rights to sell it to other hardware manufacturers as MS-DOS. When IBM PC clones eventually flooded the market, almost all of them needed a copy of MS-DOS, establishing Microsoft's software dominance for decades to come.

@teslaownersSV Do you all know @elonmusk is a Gen X as well?

Elon Musk has been obsessed with the letter 𝕏 for over 25 years.
Back in the late 90s, he named his first major company X.com — a bold attempt to create the “everything app” for finance.
After it became PayPal, he still couldn’t let go of the letter.
Fast forward to 2023: he bought Twitter and immediately rebranded it to 𝕏
Here’s a classic photo of young Elon proudly holding up the original black X.com debit card:

From X.com in 1999 to X (the everything app) in 2023+, the letter X has always been central to Elon’s vision.
He didn’t just pick a cool letter.
He’s been building toward the same idea for a quarter century.

@NiohBerg The revolution's success surprised everyone, including Khomeini's early US outreach. France and the US didn't "cause" it, but their choices removed obstacles for the opposition. For deeper reading, see declassified US cables or analyses from Brookings/CIA retrospectives.

@StartupArchive_ Apple has lost this magic since the death of Steve Jobs. This magic is now with @Tesla and @SpaceX. You need someone like @elonmusk to lead with the magic touch.

Steve Jobs on what John Sculley didn’t understand about building great products
“One of the things that really hurt Apple was, after I left, John Sculley got a very serious disease. And that disease—I’ve seen other people get it too—is the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work.”
But that’s never the case. As Steve explains, a product idea never turns out as originally conceived because you learn a lot from the details of building it, and there are always tradeoffs you have to make.
“There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a great idea and a great product… and it’s that process that is the magic.”
He compares a team working hard on something they’re passionate about to a rock tumbler:
“It's through the team--through a group of incredibly talented people--bumping up against each other, having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, and working together... they polish each other and polish the ideas. And what comes out are these really beautiful stones.”

@TheGoldenDays Honestly, I never bought or spent a single cent to buy an original license of lousy Windows. I'm happy I didn't.

@AriaWestcott Great tip! 👍 Lousy Android and Samsung. 👎

First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe!
Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.
Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa@teslaeurope
De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly! Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways No other vehicle can do this. We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

Here are the three signals Willy Woo (@w00nomic_)outlined for when a Bitcoin bear market is ending:
1. Price breaks above the recent investors’ cost basis. Bitcoin must cleanly move and hold above the average cost basis of recent buyers, showing that newer entrants are back in profit and selling pressure from them has eased.
2. Sentiment shifts from passive optimism to aggressive buying. The market moves from “idle smoking of hopium” to “rabid clicking of the BUY button,” i.e., visible, sustained spot buying and FOMO rather than just hopeful commentary and sidelined capital.
3. The overall market cost basis starts rising. The average entry price of all BTC holders begins to trend upward, confirming that fresh capital is entering at higher prices and that an accumulation phase is underway, rather than just a short squeeze or dead-cat bounce.
Current situation as of 7 April 2026.
1. Price has not decisively broken and held above the recent investors’ cost basis across major datasets.
2. Sentiment is still mixed and cautious, with no broad “rabid clicking of the BUY button” visible in flows or positioning.
3. The overall market cost basis is not yet in a clear, sustained uptrend that would confirm a new accumulation regime.
So, the Bitcoin bear is not ending soon.

@TFTC21 After 40 years, you finally realise humanity is not ready for such technology. There are too many evil people around and we don't know who is good and who is evil.
English

Bob Lazar on JRE: "For 40 years, all the people in control of this have agreed to keep it quiet. These aren't idiots. You have a line of people that all agreed 'No, let's not say anything.' There has to be a reason why. Maybe I'm the one that made the mistake."
"Nonsense transmits through the population at the speed of light. This can be a very powerful world-conquering technology. And I'm not sure these guys should be allowed to do that."
English

@TFTC21 Totally agree, humanity is not yet ready for such technology.
English

@RedPandaKoala You've got to believe this guy, Bob Lazar. I totally believe him; it is just sad that humanity has not yet reached the maturity and culture to be recognised as part of the galactic community.

🚨 Bob Lazar refutes claims that he’s made millions from the UFO topic
“People think that I make millions of dollars off of this stuff.
I drive a 2018 Chevy Bolt electric car. I mean, it's a car you'd buy for your teenage daughter. It's embarrassing to drive. It cost me $18,000.
My house on the 10 acres costs $450 grand.
I work six to seven days a week at United Nuclear, my business.
If there's anyone that wants to give me millions of dollars, please contact me immediately because I would like to retire, but no, I don't make millions of dollars off this stuff.”
